For no other reason than it's hot and I'm going to be stuck in front of my computer for God knows how long catching up with a mountain of work - I'm gonna bleat about my new iPad. After seeing the iPod Touches the kid's dad bought them, I decided to get one to use the diary - as it happens, my iPod is playing up so the new one replaces it. Turns out that, with use, the iPod Touch is smaller than a small thing and I can hardly read it .... Apple heard my moaning and developed the iPad. It was all my idea!  I now have a 600 quid diary  Turns out, the sodding thing doesn't want to accept all my music off the iTunes thingy on my computer (it transfered about 100 songs). I searched t'internet and found people are having a few issues synching it. I gave up and called Apple. They were SO helpful, they suggested I re-install my music. Lucky for me, my iTunes says I only have just over 1100 albums ....  Surprising how many you can add during the day, working on one computer and re-installing all your cds on another ..... On the plus side, it's a giant iPod Touch. It will be great on the plane over to Florida  Oh yeah, it's shocking how many crap cds a person collects over the years!

If you had an iphone (instead of the old Blackberry) you use that to synch your itunes.

I'm writing this on my new iPad. But I've decided it's going back. It's pretty and all but I'm not blown away and we don't need another piece of tech kit clutter.

I use mine quite a bit. Fits nice in the saddle bag and allows me to do email etc. quicker than my old netbook did.

That's why I use Nokia. iDon't have to iSyncronise Mi iMusic with any iTunes... I just copy the mp3's whereever I want and it works.

Well Shaun, with the exception of that last part(knowing as I do of both your and Adey's many travels to many parts of this planet) I'd say you're pretty much correct with THAT observational analogy there, ol' buddy! 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
